Fear & Anxiety

I can't stop worrying about my future: job, money, relationships. How do I find peace?

I'm terrified of what people think of me. How do I stop needing everyone's approval?

I'm afraid of getting sick or dying. How do I live with that fear without it consuming me?

I feel constant low-level anxiety and I'm not sure why. Is this a spiritual problem?

My child is going through something dangerous and I'm paralyzed with fear. What do I do?

I'm afraid to step out in faith because I might fail. How do I move forward?

My heart starts pounding and I cannot breathe, and nothing is actually happening. It feels like my body is turning on me. What do I do with that?

I dread walking into a room full of people. I rehearse conversations for hours afterward and pick apart everything I said. How do I stop?

I have a big exam coming up and the fear of failing it is making it impossible to study. My whole future feels like it is riding on one morning. How do I get through this?

I am scared of flying, and I have started turning down trips because of it. I know the fear is out of proportion and it does not help at all. What now?

There is too much on me right now and I cannot see a way through any of it. Everything is urgent and I am starting to freeze up entirely. Where do I even begin?

Work stress follows me home every night. I am physically at dinner with my family and mentally still in the office. How do I switch it off?

I have turned this decision over from every possible angle and I still have no clarity. I keep running the same loop and it is exhausting. How do I stop analysing and act?

When I feel uneasy about something I have done, I cannot tell if God is convicting me or if I am just anxious again. How do I tell the difference?

Thoughts come into my head that horrify me, violent or blasphemous things I would never choose. I am scared of what it means about me. Is something wrong with my soul?

I always expect the worst outcome, even when nothing has gone wrong yet. People call me a pessimist but it feels more like bracing myself. How do I change that?

Every time I open the news I end up frightened about where the world is heading. I cannot look away and I cannot cope with looking. What do I do with that dread?

I carry other people's suffering around with me and it wrecks me for days. People tell me I am too sensitive. Is something wrong with how I am wired?

I keep feeling like God is angry with me and something bad is coming as punishment. I cannot shake the sense that he is disappointed. Is that true?

I dread going to bed. The nightmares are bad and I lie there afraid of falling asleep. Does the Bible say anything about that?

My small group prays out loud and I freeze every time it comes around to me. I want to pray but the fear of sounding stupid takes over. How do I get past it?

Faith comes up at work and I go silent every time. Afterwards I feel like a coward. How do I find the nerve to say anything?

A big change is coming, a move and a new job, and I feel sick about it. Everything familiar is about to go. How do I face it?

I cannot sit still. The moment I stop moving I feel restless and edgy, so I keep filling every hour. Why is being still so hard?

I do not feel safe in my own home anymore. I check the locks over and over and every noise at night puts me on alert. How do I get my sense of safety back?

The thing I am most afraid of is completely out of my hands. I cannot influence the outcome at all and I still cannot stop turning it over. What do I do?

Everyone tells me to give it to God. I want to, I honestly do, but I have no idea what that actually looks like in practice. What am I supposed to do?

If I really trusted God, would I still be this anxious? I feel like my worry is proof that my faith is not working. Is that what it means?

I have been a worrier since I was a kid. It feels like my personality rather than a phase. Is it actually possible for someone like me to become different?

Worry has eaten my joy. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed anything without a background hum of dread. How do I get that back?

My anxiety is high most days and I am seeing a therapist and taking medication for it. Part of me wonders whether that means my faith is not enough. Does it?

I am waiting on an answer that will decide the next few years of my life and I cannot plan anything until it comes. Living in limbo is grinding me down. How do I wait well?

Telling myself to stop worrying has never worked, not once. Is there something in Scripture that is actually a method rather than just an instruction?

People keep quoting verses at me about trusting God and it makes me feel worse, not better. I do not know how to say that without sounding faithless. What do I do?

There is a hard conversation I have to have and I have been putting it off for weeks. Every time I plan it I lose my nerve. How do I actually do it?
